Testimonial for Cristina Evans
I am so glad my husband and I got to meet with Cristina once, in real life, before we had to quarantine! We instantly vibed with her chill energy and knew she was the doula for us. It was really amazing to have access to Cristina's lending library; I read books that I didn't even know existed or would not have bought otherwise. Being pregnant during a pandemic was really weird and isolating and Cristina was really great about checking in on us, whether it was a phone call or just a text to say hi. She gave us so much information to help prepare us for labor/delivery and postpartum, which we discussed in detail during our "official" sessions towards the end of my pregnancy. Cristina typically hosts an affirmations workshop (pre-Covid) and she gave me the option to drop off supplies, so I could make my own affirmations banner. I almost passed on it, but am so glad that I didn't because reading through all of the birth/postpartum/parenting affirmations really gave me a sense of peace and calm. I was especially glad to have my banner in the hospital when my birth preferences went out the window! Labor turned out to be really stressful and she really helped us stay calm, let my husband rest a bit, and supported me through my contractions and helped me stay as comfortable as possible. So thankful that she got to come back to the operating room with us once it was determined that I would need to have a c-section. I just remember her narrating what all was going on while supporting my husband plus she photographed our first moments as a family of 3. So thankful for her postpartum visits and reassuring me that all of the things my baby was doing or not doing was most likely normal. She helped us getting acquainted with cloth diapers and continues to check in on my baby's nursing struggles. Cristina is a wonderful human and we are so grateful to have worked with her!
